preparation | step 1:2-(3-(3-chlorophenyl) acryloyl) acetic acid (E) methyl ester to (E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl) acrylic acid (1.0g) in dichloromethane (10mL), 5.48mmol) is added with anhydrous dimethylformamide (DMF)(0.08mL,1.0mmol), the solution is cooled to 0 ℃, and then oxaloyl dichloride (0.57mL,6.53mmol) is added dropwise to raise the temperature of the reaction to room temperature. After two hours, the reaction mixture is re-cooled to 0 ℃, and the HCl salt of glycine methyl ester (1.38g,10.99mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (DIEA,3.8mL,21.92mmol) mixture was cooled to 0°C, dichloromethane (10mL) was slowly added, and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuum to obtain the crude product, which was purified by rapid chromatography (AcOEt/Hex10-100%) to obtain the title compound 1.19g(86%). ESI-MS(m/z):254,[M +1]+. Step 2.(E)-2-(3-(3-chlorophenyl) acrylamide) acetic acid to (E)2-(3-(3-(3-chlorophenyl) acrylamide) methyl acetate (1.553g,6.14mmol) MeOH(10mL) solution added 2.0NNaOH(6.2mL,12.4mmol), the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1h, after that, the analytical HPLC showed that the reaction was completed. The mixture was acidified with 1NHCl solution, and the solvent was removed in vacuum to obtain the crude product, which could be used for the next step without further purification. ESI-MS(m/z):240,[M +1]+. Step 3.(2E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-N-[2-[methyl (tetrahydro-1, 1-dioxo-2H-thian-4-yl) amino]-2-oxoethyl]-2-acrylamide to (E)-2-(3-(3-chlorophenyl) acrylamide) acetic acid (31.5mg,0.13mmol) Add DIEA(52mg,0.4mmol) and HATU(50mg,0.13mmol) to the mixture in DMF(1mL), stir the mixture for 5 minutes, then add 4-(methylamino) tetrahydro-2H-thian-1, 1-dioxide hydrochloride (26mg,0.13mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, the reaction is completed by analytical HPLC monitoring, the solvent is removed in vacuum, and the crude product is obtained, which is purified by preparative HPLC (acetonitrile/MeOH(1:1)/water 40 ~ 100%) to obtain the title compound (2E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-N-[2-[methyl (tetrahydro-1), 1-Dioxo-2H-thian-4-yl) amino]-2-oxoethyl]-2-acrylamide 24.6mg(49%). |
in vitro study | ML264 effectively inhibited the cell activity of DLD-1 (IC50=29 nM),DLD-1 cells are human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. ML264 also has significant effects on other cell types at micromolar doses, including HCT116, HT29 and SW620 cells. However, the IEC-6 is largely unaffected, and even at the highest concentration, the degree of inhibition is lower than 50%. ML264 also effectively inhibited the proliferation of CRC cells in vitro. |
